Rose's POV
I woke up early the next day so I wouldn't see anyone. If I saw someone I wouldn't want to leave.
After packing everything I needed, I wrote short letter to Lissa and Dimitri. I didn't say where I was going, because I didn't even know, or when or if I would be back. I let the notes on my bed, knowing they would find them, and left to go to the office.
When I arrived at the main office I had to wait a little while until Kirova came. After I told her I was leaving the academy she reluctantly signed my papers and let me leave.
When I got to the gate and told the guardians I was leaving they opened the gate for me. The guardians were more than shocked t was leaving, but didn't say anything.
After I got out of the gates, I turned around one last time to look at the only home I ever knew. Then, I turned around and walked away from everything I love. Well, everything but my unborn child.
Dimitri's POV
Rose was late for practice, again.
I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face as I thought of Rose, my Roza. I love her so much. She is my everything. I'm so happy that we found a way to finally be together.
After waiting another ten minutes, I decided to find her. So, I headed to her dorm. When I got there I knocked on her door.
"Rose, are you in there?" I asked, with no reply. "I'm coming in if you don't answer, Roza." After she didn't answer I opened the door.
I became worried when I noticed her room was emptied of nearly everything. Then, I found two letters lying on her bed. One was addressed to the princess and the other to me. I grabbed both letters and then opened the one addressed to me.
Dear Dimitri,
When you read this I will already be gone. I have dropped out of the academy, and I can't tell you why. Please, don't try to find me.
I just want you to know that I love with my whole heart, you are my soul mate. I will miss you so much, but I will not ruin your life like this.
Love always,
Your Roza
While reading the note I had fallen to my knees, and after finishing I couldn't get back up.
Why would she leave?
What would she have done to ruin my life?
Whatever it is we could have gotten through it, together.
I slowly pulled myself together. I decide to go to the main office; I had to talk to Headmistress Kirova about this. After I shut the door to her office, Kirova looked up at me with sad eyes.
"Is it true?" I asked.
"Is what true, Guardian Belikov?" She asked, acting like she didn't know what was going on.
"Did Rose drop out?" I asked.
"I'm afraid it is true, Guardian Belikov. It is a shame we lost her, she was quit the girl. I know that you were close to her being her student and all. I'm sorry." She replied apologetically.
After she said this I couldn't handle it, I was going to have a breakdown, so I ran out of the office and ran straight to "our" cabin. I just sat on the bed for a while thinking about what happened her not long ago. The way we had fit together was perfect; I already missed her so much. It felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. I wanted to know why she would leave. It must have been something serious, or she wouldn't have left everything. Even though I was dying to go after her, I was going to respect her wish and not go after her. After being in the cabin for a few hours I decided to go find the princess so I could talk to her.
I found her in the cafeteria eating lunch with her boyfriend, Christian, Eddie, and Ivashkov. I was hesitant to tell her that her best friend left and no one knew why, but she had to know and I had to give her the note. So, I walked over to the group.
"Princess?" I asked when I arrived at the table. "May I speak to you in private?"
"Of course, Guardian Belikov." She replied. After she got up we walked outside to a bench in the courtyard.
"Princess," I started, "there is something I have to tell you."
"Is it about Rose?" She asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"Is something wrong with her, is she sick?" She asked.
"No, she isn't sick." I took a deep breath. "Princess, Rose dropped out of the academy this morning without a word to anyone about where she was going or why she did it."
"No, you're lying. Rose is my best friend she wouldn't leave me. Also, she wants to be a guardian." She replied back, but I could tell she knew I wasn't joking.
"I wish it weren't true either, princess. I miss her as well." I replied. After I said this she looked up at me, with a knowing look.
"I know you guys love each other, I'm not stupid. I see the way you look at each other. There is just another reason right there why Rose wouldn't just leave." She said. I was in shock. How did she know that we loved each other? Was it that obvious?
"I must go. Here is a letter I found addressed to you." I handed her the letter and ran off to be alone.
Lissa's POV
I can't believe Rose just left. Why would she do that? When he asked me if he could talk to me I thought he was going to tell me Rose was sick and that's why I hadn't seen her. After watching Guardian Belikov run away, I opened the letter.
Dear Liss,
I have so much I want to tell you, but I can't. All that I can tell you is that I have left the academy and it isn't because of you. I have to do this. Please, don't come after me. When I'm ready I may call you, but I don't know for sure. Know that I love you very much; you are my best friend, my sister. I will miss you so much.
Love ya to death,
Rose
P.S. Tell Fireboy that I will even miss him, but tell him not to let this go to his fucked up head.
By the time I finished reading the letter I was crying my eyed out. I started running back to the cafeteria, I needed Christian. I also needed to tell everyone.
When I ran through the doors, with tears streaming down my face, everyone looked at me curiously. I ignored everyone and ran to Christian as fast as I could. When I got to him I through my arms around him and cried.
"Lissa, what's wrong?" Christian asked, worry clear in his voice.
"She's gone." Is all I could get out.
"Who is gone?" Adrian asked.
"Rose, she dropped out." I said and started sobbing.
Everyone just stared at me in shock. I guess I had said it too loudly because everyone in the room started talking about it. All my friends just sat there not saying anything, all of them had sad looks on their faces. It was too much for any of us to handle.
Christian's POV
Why would Rose just leave? This is hurting everyone so much, even me, and that scares the hell out of me. I hope she is safe.
Eddie's POV
WHAT?
Rose dropped out?
Why would she do that?
Adrian's POV
NO, NO, NO, NO. This cannot be happening. Rose would never leave without a good reason. Something must have happened, but what? I want to go find her, but everyone says she doesn't want to be found.
I hope you like it so far.
